Yea it was my first time waxing a car. Good thing my neighbor helped me and gave me some pointers and tips. I keep forgetting to get a sound clip. I will def get it this week.

Tjm car looks clean! Keep it up. I vote for na-t'ers, as i'am currently in that path, unless a 2jzgte gets in the way...lol. On the GE i would go with arp studs, GTE gasket, 550cc, 61-66mm turbo, aristo ecu(Feel Rich$$$) lol or a ems of choice. Definetley 500hp territory. On the other hand a 2jzgte can be had for about the same amount of a na-t build (depending where you get the swap from). In your case you have a low mile bottom end, making the na-t choice sound best. Also keep in mind the w58 power levels, if stepping over 400hp consider a r154.

My IS300 was a NA-T. I was using RC500cc, arp studs, gte headgasket, gte internals, 60-1 turbo and using the AEM FIC. It was making decent power as well. I want to go a different route and that's why I plan on going with a swap. Thanks for the complement though.

The exhaust came out great! I'll be looking for a similar custom setup pretty soon.

If I may ask how much did the custom piping and mufflers cost you?
